Page header

The first horizontal bloc is the header and basically contains the film's identifying elements and first level of participation:

FILM IDENTIFICATION

• Series name: For films that belong in a series. It can be a television series, a group of films of joint production, etc.

• Film's original title: Title of the film in the original language. When the films are in a non latin alphabet (russian, greek, arab, chinese, japanese...) the title is shown in a phonetic translation for the latin alphabet.

• Production year: After the title you find the year of production in brackets. In cases where the exact year is unknown the decade can appear instead as follows: 1920s.

• Subtitle: Usually, the subtitle is an extension of the title. It's an extra explanatory title. It's not like a motto or advertising slogan, that is often on posters, but a second title that appears in some film credits. Example: Into thin air (1997) Death on Everest.

• Titles in other languages: Title names used to distribute the film in other languages or countries. It's not merely a translation but they are real titles that have been used commercially.

USER PARTICIPATION

• Follow options for registered users: Buttons to add and delete films from the Favourites list and Watchlist and the Share button to send the page link via twitter and facebook (see User participation).

• Film rating: Global user rating is the average of received votes from users.

• Personal film rating: Available only to registered users, personal rating is just one. When the user votes for a film he/she had voted for already, what this does is modify his/her previous vote. It doesn't add a new vote to the total (ree Rating films).

Basic information

Second horizontal bloc

The second bloc is a highlighted bloc in a blue horizontal band that has the film's basic data:

FILM BASIC DATA

• Production country: It can have more than one country when it's a co-production.

• Basic description: Basic synopsis. If this description doesn't fit the length of the reserved space, the link [...] comes up to access full description that always is the introduction of the Story section in the basic information bloc.

• Basic credits: Director, Production and Leading actors. The rest of the credits are in the Credits section in the Basic information bloc.

• Posters: Carousel and film posters. When you click on any of the posters, the content viewer floating window opens with the biggest size poster. If the film has a video, you can find a link under the poster where you can view this video.

• Film classification: The column on the right has all the film's classification elements. First the Genre, highlighted with a coloured sticker, and after, the Subgenre, Story and Themes.

Tags and related films

Fifth horizontal bloc

The fifth bloc contains information of film connections via two related searches:

RELATED SEARCHES

• Tags: Are keywords related to the films. Even though they give out clue information about the film, they are basically meant to label the film and allow you to find other films under the same label (tag) and make a related search using key words.

• Related films: It's a carousel showing films with coinciding aspects with the film page you are in. They are not mere coincidences but important ones in more than one aspect (location, story line, production, etc.).
